ª Surge Absorber

For further protection for this product, these models are equipped

with new surge absorbing circuits which prevents damage due to

power surges caused by lightning.

≥This function may not be effective for surges by direct lightning.

ª Crystal View Control

The crystal view control function ensures the optimum picture quality

so that you get the best picture automatically.

ª Tapes

≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is

unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.

≥Break the tape’s tab to prevent accidental

erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer

of adhesive tape when you want to use the

tape for recording again.

ª S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

It is possible to play back tapes recorded in the S-VHS system.

≥Some picture noise may occur depending on the type of tape used.

≥It is not possible to fully obtain the high resolution that S-VHS is

capable of.

It is not possible to record in the S-VHS system with this unit.

ª Dirt on the video heads

If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be recorded or played

back clearly. (See the following conditions.)

If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5

–10 times successively

to remove the dirt from the video heads.

If the problem still persists after performing above, contact a service

personnel.

Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use

of the unit under high temperature and humidity or under the dust

and other reasons.

Never use tapes on which liquids have been spilt or those that are

extremely damaged since these will cause not only the heads to

become dirty, but also the unit malfunction.

ª Installing the batteries

Insert the batteries with the polarity (+ and -) correctly aligned.

Notes:

The service life of the batteries is approximately 1 year. However, it

varies considerably depending on the frequency of use.

≥When the batteries are exhausted, remove them immediately and

dispose them correctly.

≥Do not mix old battery with new battery.

≥Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline and Manganese.

≥Do not use rechargeable batteries.

≥Do not heat or short-circuit the batteries.

≥When you do not use the remote control for a long time, take out

the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place.

≥Operation can be affected by strong light sources, such as direct

sunlight, fluorescent light and the glass doors on cabinets.

ª Use

Aim at the receiver window (l 6), avoiding obstacles, at a maximum

range of 7 m directly in front of the unit.

≥Keep the transmission window and the unit’s sensor free from dust.

≥Operation can be affected by strong light sources, such as direct

sunlight, and the glass doors on cabinets.

Audio/Video Output Sockets

COMPONENT VIDEO terminal (progressive out)

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive

output and provide a clearer picture than the S VIDEO terminal.

Connection using these terminals outputs the colour difference

signals (P

B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to

achieve high fidelity in reproducing colours.

≥The description of the component video input terminals depends

on the TV or monitor (e.g. Y/P

B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).

Connect to terminals of the same colour.

Video cable (Not supplied)

Television

For Better Video from DVD

≥These connections are for the DVD section only.

Carry out the Basic Connections described above to view video from the

VHS section.

≥When making this connection, ensure that you connect the Audio cables

(not supplied) to the corresponding audio input terminals on the TV.

≥You may need to change the video-input mode on the TV to view video

from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your TV’s operating instructions

for details.

S-Video cable (Not supplied)

S VIDEO terminal

The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid

picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by

separating the chrominance (C) and luminance

(Y) signals (Actual results depend on the TV).

≥Connect to a different terminal group (e.g.

“VIDEO 2”) than that you used for the

connection through this unit’s VHS/DVD OUT

terminal. Picture from the VHS section will not

appear when you use the same group input

terminal connections because the S Video

terminal input takes precedence.

≥Set the RF output channel of the unit to “ss”

(RF OFF) (l 11).

≥Connect Audio/Video cables directly to your TV.

The video signals on DVDs and video tapes

have copyright protection. The video may not be

shown correctly if you connect through an A/V

selector or other equipment.

For the VHS/DVD OUT terminal, VHS and DVD outputs can be switched or it can be

automatically switched on to the output side that has started playing back.

The DVD OUT terminal can only output the DVD signal.

Notes:

≥When Video is switched to DVD or vice versa, the audio volume may suddenly

increase or decrease. This is because when the audio output of this unit is connected

to the TV, etc., the audio output of the DVD is generally lower.

≥When you increase the volume level to play back DVD audio, reduce it when playback

is finished.

You can enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier

and speakers.

Note:

≥To purchase a coaxial digital cable (not supplied), check the terminal shape of the equipment to be connected beforehand.

Recording Mode Auto Change Function

If a timer recording is performed in SP mode, this function

automatically changes the recording mode if the unit determines

that the remaining tape time is insufficient to record the entire

programme.

If the remaining tape time is still not sufficient even in LP/EP mode,

the programme cannot be recorded to the end.

The recording mode will change as follows:

PAL system: SP # LP

NTSC system: SP # EP

≥This function cannot change the recording speed to the EP mode

for PAL system.

e.g. NTSC system (when using a 60-min. tape)

≥The tape length must be set correctly (l 22).

≥Some tapes may not work correctly.

≥If the recording speed changes during a timer recording, some

picture distortion will occur at that point.
